CASEIVIENT-ADJUSTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application fil d February 14, 1907. Serial No. 357,270.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY G. Vorcnr, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Britain, Hartford county, Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Casement-Adjusters, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in means for opening and closing doors or windows, and more particularly where the door or window is pivoted in the casing.

The object of my invention is to provide an adjusting means carried by the casing which will open or close the door or window and positively secure the same in both extreme positions and any intermediate position.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1. is a front elevation. Fig. 2. is a plan view with the closure in section. Fig. is a diagrammatic view showing the operation of the adjuster. Fig. 4. is a sectional view of the operating lever. Figs. 5 and 6, are respectively a horizontal sectional. view and a front elevation of the guide and keeper plate for the lever.

1 represents a casement window. 2 is a portion of the casing therefor.

3 is a pivot member of the adjuster located in the lower part of the casing 2. 4 the operating lever secured to pivot 3. 5 a telescopic rod connecting the pivot member 3 and the window 1.

6 is a guide plate on the inner side of the casing, through which the handle end of the operating lever projects and in which it may be located to hold the window in the desired position.

The pivot member 3 is provided with the flange 3 adapted to rest upon the flanged bushing 3 mounted in the casing. The operating lever A secured to the lower part of pivot 3 extends laterally therefrom through a suitable clearance slot in the casing back of the guide plate 6.

P is a spring pressed latch carried by the lever 4 and adapted to engage with the guide plate to lock the window in the desired posi tion. Radial notches 6 are preferably provided to receive the latter.

One part of the telescopic rod 5 is pivotally connected to the window as by the bracket 5*, while the other end is firmly secured in the cap 3 In the preferred form this cap is adjustably secured upon the flange 3 by screws 3 3 This flange may have additional screw holes as indicated in dotted lines at 3 3. This construction permits the cap to be adjusted axially to adapt the device to a right or left hand window.

In the diagram, Fig. 3, the position of the parts in the closed position is shown in full lines, and the partially open position in dotted lines, thereby clearly illustrating the operation of the telescopic rod and other parts of the adjuster.

What I claim is:

1. In a device of the character described, in combination a casing and a casement therefor, a pivot member carried by the casing, an operating lever secured thereto and a telescopic connection between the said pivot and the said casement.

2. In a device of the character described, in combination, a casing, a pivoted casement therefor, a pivot member carried by said casing, an operating lever secured to said pivot member, and a self adjustable telescopic connection between said pivot and said casement.

3. In a device of the character described, in combination, a casing, a pivoted casement therefor, a pivot member, a bearing therefor in said casing, a lever secured to said pivot extending through said casing horizontally and a self adjustable connection between said pivot and said casement.

4. In a device of the character described, in combination, a casing, a pivoted casement therefor, a pivot member extending into said casing, an operating lever projecting laterally therefrom, and extending through the face of said casing, a guide plate for said lever and a self adjustable connection between said pivot and said casement.

5. In a device of the character described, in combination, a casing, a casement therefor, a pivot member, an operating lever secured thereto, a guide plate therefor provided with a plurality ofnotches, a latch on said lever adapted to engage in said notches, and a self adjustable connection between said pivot and said casement.

6. In a casement adjuster the combination of the pivot member, an operating lever secured at an angle thereto, a slotted guide plate therefor provided with a series of notches therein, a latch on said lever adapted to engage in said notches, a cap adjustably secured to said pivot, and a self adjusting connection, carried by said cap and arranged to connect said pivot with the casement.

7. In a casement adjuster, a pivot member, an operating lever projecting therefrom, a cap piece carried by said pivot member and means to permit said cap piece to be adjusted axially on said member, a self adjustable connection for the casement, said connection being secured to said cap and projecting laterally thereof.

8. In a casement adjuster, a pivot member, an operating lever projecting therefrom, a cap piece carried by said pivot member and means to permit said cap piece to be adjusted axially on said member, a self adjustable con- 20 HENRY c. VOIGHT.
